Applications

Although many 5-axis machining centers were used in the medical device sector years ago, this approach has come under review in many plants starting a while ago: instead of bulky 5-axis machines, up to 3 small, compact 3-axis vertical machining centers are in production today in the same space, most equipped with 4th or 4th/5th axis from pL LEHMANN. In this way, it was possible to reduce not only the direct, but above all the indirect investment costs significantly: a major increase in production capacity without having to expand production buildings.
